If I had to have this seared into my brain, I was not going to suffer alone. More here.
Dude, there has to be a better way.
WASHINGTON — The Secret Service says it questioned and released an overexuberant fan of President Barack Obama who had tossed a paperback book near the president at a Philadelphia rally on Sunday.
Spokesman Ed Donovan said the man had written the book and hoped the president would read it. Donovan said agents concluded the man posed no danger.
Obama seemed not to notice the book that landed near him on an outdoor stage after he finished speaking to a large crowd Sunday. The president had turned his back to shake hands with people on another side of the stage.

Not sure that there would be much left of the million after all the court fees etc.
A WACKY billionaire has offered $1million (£638,700) to the first person who streaks in front of US President Barack Obama.
Loaded Alki David has promised to pay out the cash — providing the streaker writes the name of his website “Battlecam” across their chest.
The prank must be broadcast live on Battlecam, a video-sharing community linked to Alki’s TV on demand website FilmOn.
He initially offered $100,000 (£63,870), but raised it to $1m, to include any legal fees which may be incurred as a result of the streak.
Alki said: “Most people in the community thought the 100,000 wasn’t enough for the audacity of the dare.
“One million is a nice, round number and that gets people’s attention a lot more.”


Am I a horrible person for wanting the “Gin and Titonic” very, very much?

I just laughed so hard I think I pulled something in my side. Pray to god that someone like Mike Stark gets some good video of this. Bless Taegan for going to the Tea Baggers site.
The next major Capitol Hill protest, planned for Tuesday, plans to simulate dying inside the Senate office buildings. Here’s a direct quote:“So here’s the plan… We call this plan ‘Government Waiting Rooms.’ The intention is to go inside the Senate offices and hallways, and play out the role of patients waiting for treatment in government controlled medical facilities. As the day goes on some of us will pretend to die from our untreated illnesses and collapse on the floor. Many of us plan to stay there until they force us to leave.”
